Building repair work complete

Glory be to God, the repair work on the parish school and diocesan center building has now been completed!

Reinforcements have been added to the perimeter walls bringing the wall and roof support structure up to code.  Water barrier on the exterior and closed cell insulation sprayed on the interior walls and ceiling has remedied all of the leaking.  Windows have been reinstalled with adequate flashing.  Drywall has been installed on the perimeter walls and the double door entrance in the middle of the new building has been added.

We will soon schedule a thanks-giving molieben for this phase of the construction work.

Now attention turns to finishing work to allow the school to move in.  This involves final electric work, connecting the HVAC ducts to individual rooms, overhead lighting and suspended ceiling and drywalls throughtout the buidling.  We are in process of getting estimates for this work.  Volunteers and donors in any capacity are welcome!

While it might not be possible to complete in time for the second semester of school, with God's blessings and your prayers, we hope to have the building completed over the wintertime.
